Knight line GL

A touch of light green protrudes from the withered brown bark, the young leaves curl up in the wind, and the snow marks on the branches are still there.

Snow water meanders down, ding ding dong dong.

The sharp-eared macaque heard the human voice, and swung a hook of the plum tree branch into the distance.The crested eagle perches on an open branch, watching the furry squirrel poking its head out to look around, its small eyes rolling around, its fluffy tail fluttering, and running around on the tree trunk.

The branches trembled, and the residual snow shook off.

A cub that was left behind just struggled to get half of its body out of the tree hole.A cluster of snow fell from the sky, and suddenly there was a chill on the head, so frightened that its fluff exploded, and it roared——

"Woooo."

Hearing the sound, Qin Gutong bent down to check, brushed away the dead branches, stretched out his hand to pick up a ball of fur, smiled happily, and handed it to Xiao Qingqian to offer a treasure: "Qingqian, look quickly! A wild cat cub! Do you want it?" Touch it, it's soft."

Xiao Qingqian stared at her sunny smile, glanced at the huddled raccoon cub, and reached out to touch its paw.

The little thing was held by the back of the neck, and he had no strength to resist.With wet eyes open, ears twitching, mouth opened and called out in a milky voice.

Qin Gutong liked it very much. He squeezed his ears and touched the tip of his nose, and shook it again and again before he reluctantly put it back into the tree hole: "Don't move, wait until your mother comes back to pick you up."

Xiao Qingqian saw her bending down to talk to the raccoon cub in the tree hole, a smile appeared in his eyes, and lied to her: "Its mother will not come back."

Qin Gutong was taken aback for a moment, his face full of confusion.I looked around and saw nothing unusual: "Ah? There are no traces of fighting around, and the tiger poison doesn't eat its eggs, so how could its mother throw her away?"

"Most wild cats come out at night, and they have many litters." Xiao Qingqian's words were half-truth, "How could they not be in the cave during the daytime? Mostly they left in a hurry to avoid powerful enemies, and they only had time to take other cubs with them." Cub, keep this one."

Qin Gutong didn't doubt that he was there, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt reasonable: "It should come back, right?"

Xiao Qingqian shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid not, the wild cat is alert and will not return to the dangerous place."

Hearing this, Qin Gutong couldn't help worrying about whether the wild cat cub could survive, staring at the tree hole again and again.He also worried that the two of them would be on their way, and it would be inconvenient to bring an animal with them.He couldn't make up his mind for a while, struggling and hesitating all over his face.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Qingqian couldn't help loving her even more, and slowly said: "If you don't want to take it, you can give it to the farmer at the foot of the mountain."

Qin Gutong readily agreed, and immediately reached out to take the little thing out.Scrambled meat dregs and fed some with water.He cut another bamboo tube, put it in, and hung it around his waist.

Two people and one cat, continue on the road.

For several months in the mountains, I don't know the heaven and the earth.

Half a month ago, Ye Yinzi said: Although the snow and ice still fill the valley, the snow and ice have melted outside Taihezong, and the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.It's time to prepare to leave.

Qin Gutong and Xiao Qingqian were going to Taihe City, Gou Mao was worried about his brother's family, and insisted on crossing the river because of his good water quality.Qin Gutong took some treasures with him to make money, and then they went their separate ways.When she returned to Taihezong, Ye Yinzi's whereabouts were unknown.

Qin Gutong and Xiao Qingqian packed their luggage and left Taihezong.Taihe is surrounded by four mountains, with dense trees and dense trees, covering the sky with towering sun.The two of them went down the stream, crossing forests and mountains with lightness kung fu.

It wasn't until dusk came that the mountains became slightly wider and flatter.

Xiao Qingqian saw cooking smoke rising not far away, and pointed it out to Qin Gutong.Qin Gutong looked intently, and indeed there were wisps of white smoke, reflecting the colorful fire clouds in the sky, that wisp of white smoke was really inconspicuous.

Qin Gutong wanted to avoid it at first, but on second thought, he had to go down the mountain to meet people after all, so it's better to find out the situation first.With my own and Xiao Qingqian's skills, even if I encounter a killer from the Immortal Prison, I can still deal with it.

She asked Xiao Qingqian to wait a while, and went to check it out by herself first.When we arrived at Baiyan, we saw an old man with a sad face.The old man's head was wrapped in black cloth, he was wearing navy blue and short brown, and he was wearing straw sandals.There is a bamboo basket beside him, which contains some herbs such as Huanghua Sanqi and Wen Wang's pen.

There was an earthen pot on the fire, and the old man was stirring with his head down.Hearing the sound, he raised his head and saw Qin Gutong coming quietly.The old man stood up in shock, babbling for a long time.

Qin Gutong stepped out from behind the tree and was about to speak.Seeing the old man suddenly lost his mind, he was also startled. He quickly took a step back, bowed his hands, and comforted him: "Old man, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

At this time, the old man also came back to his senses, speaking bluntly: "Ni... girl, Nicha."

Qin Gutong sounded specious, guessing that he was in the Xiangchu area, this old man might be the Wuling Man mentioned in the book.She clasped her fists and bowed slightly as a response.

The old man also cupped his hands, looked her up and down for a while, rubbed his hands, and said at a loss: "Eabizka, Nipka? Niqie Xiri? Tuni Engleinqie? Cough, Ni, how come? ...what came from?"

Qin Gutong secretly sighed, thinking that this is more difficult to communicate with than a little savage.One old and one young, talking and making gestures.Qin Gutong finally knew that the old man's name was Di Er'er, and he lived in a certain village at the foot of the mountain.His son was injured for some reason, and the old man was collecting medicine on the mountain this time.

Qin Gutong only said that the two of them got lost in the mountains.The old man was not suspicious either, and invited them to have a meal together, and gave them the beans and rice in the crock.Bean rice is a special feature of this place. It is mixed with mung beans and peas, accompanied by sauerkraut and bacon.

The mountain was blocked by ice and snow, so the food Cuiweizi sent was not enough for four people.I had to hunt to satisfy my hunger.Qin Gutong had eaten meat for several months, now holding the rice, his mouth was watering.She handed the rice to Xiao Qingqian, took out the jerky rock donkey meat from the package and distributed it to the old man.

The rock donkey is a kind of antelope with two horns on its head and lives between steep cliffs.Good at crashing, jumping, and extremely sensitive, it is a rare delicacy.

When he was in Taihezong, Ye Yinzi was captured by Qin Gutong with bare hands at first, and then her hands were bound.Qin Gutong was ashamed of being pushed off a cliff by a rock donkey.Later, as if venting, the three of them ate rock donkeys for a month.

The old man took a bite of the roasted air-dried rock donkey jerky, which was soft and crispy, delicious and mellow.The more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, and the old man appreciates it greatly.

Qin Gutong smiled slightly, lowered his head to get some broth, and let the raccoon cubs out.Seeing it eat and eat, he said with a slight smile to Xiao Qing: "It's easy to raise, so let's call it very hungry."

Whenever she spoke, Xiao Qingqian never refused.Nodding, he handed over the bean rice that had only eaten two bites: "It's slightly sour, you eat."

Qin Gutong took the bamboo bowl in doubt, tasted a piece, and said with regret: "The taste is not bad, but you don't like sour taste? You will miss a lot of delicious food, such as sour bamboo shoots, sour soup fish, sour beans, Ume pork ribs..."

Xiao Qingqian wrote down one by one, and tucked the broken hair behind her ears for her: "Seeing you eating, I feel very good appetite."

"Hmph, don't pretend that I can't hear you, you are laughing at me." Qin Gutong ate while talking, and finished eating in two or three bites.Taking the handkerchief Xiao Qingqian handed over, he said insatiably: "The rice bucket is the rice bucket. After going down the mountain, I will have a big meal."

The old man on the side seemed to understand this sentence, and said with a smile: "Ni, go to Yazhiga, finish...home, catch rice, meat, and wine."

Qin Gutong heard the old man's invitation and nodded with a smile.But in his heart, he was thinking about how to bypass the village after going down the mountain and enter the city directly.

She is no more vigilant now than she was when she first came out of the rivers and lakes.Knowing that even though the villagers are honest, the mountain village is too closed, so when she and Xiao Qingqian are two outsiders, it must be very eye-catching.

No matter if they were from the Immortal Prison or the Canaan Temple, as long as they were willing to inquire, they would be able to know the whereabouts of the two immediately.In big cities and towns, the daily flow of people entering and leaving is complicated.The two dressed up a little and acted low-key, making it easy to hide in the city.

Qin Gutong made up his mind and went directly to Taihe City.It's just that I don't know how far Taihe City is from here, and I have to bypass several villages.She wondered how far Taihe City was, and how the current situation with the Weng family was.He didn't want to speak directly, so he casually asked about the injury of the old man's son.

With this question, the old man opened the chatter box and poured out bitter water.Qin Gutong half-guessed, but probably understood: the old man's village is downstream, and there is a village upstream, and the two villages often fight over water issues.Now that spring begins, the river water is needed to irrigate the fields.The upstream village closed the gate to store water, and the old man's son took the villagers to argue, but was injured by the master invited by the other party.

Qin Gutong couldn't help sighing, touching his bosom so hungry.Looking at the old man who wiped his tears, he had mixed feelings in his heart: "In the past, when I flipped through the books, I always saw the rich and gentry leading warriors and thugs to bully the common people. Now the warriors and thugs become squires, it's still normal."

Xiao Qingqian said: "There is no difference between seeking wealth through power and seeking wealth through martial arts."

The old man couldn't help sighing, and said dejectedly: "In the village, Muqian, please be a fire master. Wanwabao, the hottest, has a broken leg."

Qin Gutong guessed that he said that the village has no money to hire powerful masters, and his son is the strongest in the village, and now his leg is broken.She felt uneasy when she smelled it, and said to Xiao Qingqian: "In the past, there were government offices. Although it was inevitable that the officials would protect each other, if not, there would still be the emperor. Even if the emperor is stupid, he can lie to himself. The emperor is deceived. The people always feel that there is still something to look forward to. Now... alas."

Xiao Qingqian looked at her sideways, and said with relief: "Now there is Qin Shaoxia. Let's go down the mountain to have a look. The so-called master is just a country warrior."

Qin Gutong shook his head, leaning against her and murmured in a low voice: "I know, I'm just worried that we can manage it for a while, but not forever. After we leave, if the other party retaliates, it will be worse."

Xiao Qingqian saw that she was thinking farther and thinking more now, and felt very fond of her.He put his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulders, and whispered in her ear: "The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge. You have to go and see if you can help."

Qin Gutong only felt his ears itching slightly, and his face turned red immediately.Feeling overwhelmed, he just nodded.Turning his head to see Xiao Qingqian pillowed on his shoulder, with fragrant cheeks and snowy muscles close at hand, he couldn't help secretly feeling: Qingqian is really chivalrous and loyal, unlike me who is worried about revealing her whereabouts.Thinking about it, I can't get an idea.

But she didn't know that Xiao Qingqian knew that if she didn't care about it, she would feel uneasy.For Xiao Qingqian, there is no need to worry, killing to stop killing is the most useful.Kill one person and refuse to accept, kill ten people.Kill ten people for disobedience, kill a hundred people.

If you hold a sword, you will be stained with blood.

If you want to save people, you must kill people.

However, she would never say these words to Qin Gutong.

Brushing the Shuanghua Sword with your fingertips, the coolness and the scorching heat from Qin Gutong's body complement each other, making Xiao Qingqian fearless in his heart.
